NANCY DOWNEY

Growing up with Nancy´s younger children Liz and Jack at GTC in the 80s was magical. And Nancy was the ultimate Mom- I have so many fond memories of her hosting me and my sister at their home with grace and humor and warmth! After we moved away from NY, I felt so lucky to still get to see Nancy and Bob through the years. She remained so loving and supportive as a family friend. I am heartbroken for the Downey family to hear this news. And send so much love and deepest condolences to all of...

Nancy was my roommate at Farmington (now known as Porter's) in our junior year and she was a delight to share a room with....we had a fire escape there, oh, never mind. I am sorry we lost some touch in recent years and my deepest sympathies to Bob and her family as she was a treasure. RIP roomie.

What a life Nancy lived and shared her force and energy and love with so many. Our kids grew up together, we traveled, played, celebrated together. One could not think of Nancy and Bob as anything but a dynamic duo. Together forever. Our memories of Nancy fill us up with love and joy. Her children, grand children and great granchildre are fortunate to have Nancy's DNA embedded in them in all that they do. Now more than ever, Bob will revel with his family for love and support in his days...

We were so saddened to hear this news of Nancy's illness and her passing. She was an amazing woman, a rare gem of a person, truly a shining light of energy and I feel honored to have known her and been in her life for many years. Our condolences to Bob and the whole family. Love and peace Joanne DiMauro and Bruno Iannone

My sincerest condolences to all her family.

We were deeply saddened to learn of Nancy´s passing. She was a vibrant, empathetic, and insightful woman, with a rare gift for connecting with others and putting them at ease. Nancy's spirited nature, sharp mind, and warm sense of humour made her a pleasure to be with. Nancy will be dearly missed  by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Our thoughts are with her family, whom she loved deeply and in whom she took great joy.

To have known Nancy for 66 years has been a blessing. From our first year at Bradford we shared many really fun and mischievous moments while shoring each other up in the not so fun times. How I will miss her Christmas cards! We so enjoyed exchanging photos and notes about the four children and nine grandchildren we each had loved dearly. My thoughts and my prayers for her and her family spill out from my heart.

With fond memories we send our sincerest condolences to Bob and Nancy´s family
